Transcript

00:00Thanks, Gary. Evening, everyone. Thanks for joining us at the mighty Lusail.

00:05Tonight's winners, of course, will stay here for that semi-final against Croatia,

00:09perhaps a final itself.

00:11What drama we could have.

00:13Louis van Gaal's story of battling cancer to the brink of World Cup history

00:16is made for Hollywood.

00:18The legend of Lionel Messi has been a blockbuster for years.

00:21The Dutch coach will equal Luis Felipe Scolari's record

00:25of going his first 12 World Cup games unbeaten if he comes through this.

00:29The Netherlands' progress built on a collective team ethic.

00:32Argentina have been indebted to the one great man.

00:35Lionel Messi's had a hand in four of their seven goals here.

00:38He's netted 13 in his last eight internationals.

00:41They've lost once in 40,

00:43and the 40,000 South Americans roaring among here make them favourites.

00:49There are said to be 1,400 Dutch supporters somewhere in here.

00:53I can't really see them.

00:55There's a little gaggle just by the dugout, you can see that.

00:58Both have scores to settle from their World Cup history,

01:02but this is about the here and now,

01:06and just about now we will have the anthems.

01:09So many nervous faces out there.

01:12So much expectation.

01:14In 90 or 120 minutes and beyond, there could be desolation.

01:25CHOIR SINGS

01:55CHOIR SINGS

02:15Remarkable van Gaal.

02:18Five times they've met at the World Cup,

02:20the Netherlands have won two, Argentina one.

02:22Two draws.

02:25CHOIR SINGS

02:55CHOIR SINGS

03:26CHEERING

03:32Astonishing, 90,000 the other night,

03:34with the Plaza de la Plata back in Argentina,

03:38watching their victory against Australia.

03:4240,000, I reckon it's more like 60,000 here supporting Argentina.

03:47Messi's face as he looks to the heavens,

03:49his great mate Neymar, is out of the World Cup.

03:52Will it actually be his tournament this time around?

03:58Well, with a remarkable World Cup story,

04:00a Dutch keeper, Andries Nott,

04:01might have another dramatic chapter if it goes to penalties.

04:04In front of him, one Netherlands change.

04:06Steven Bergwijn starts for the first time since the second game against Ecuador.

04:10Fede Gakko is expected to drop into the role off the front, too,

04:14where he started the tournament against Senegal.

04:17It didn't work.

04:18He kept wandering wide.

04:20He was much better when pushed further forward.

04:22De Puy scored 12 in qualifying,

04:24no European player was involved in more games.

04:28And Louis Van Gaal says this is where the tournament starts.

04:35The referee is from Spain.

04:37Much to the pleasure of Van Gaal,

04:40he was praising Mathieu Lacrosse yesterday.

04:43He took Qatar's loss against Senegal

04:45and Iran's group stage defeat to the USA.

04:48He can be a little bit inconsistent with his yellow cards.

04:56Two wonderful rival captains.

05:02So many moments of messy magic so far in this competition.

05:08Here we have the VAR team.

05:10Alejandro Hernandez of Spain and his assistant, Drew Fisher.

05:16Argentina starting as they finished against Australia

05:19with a back five.

05:21Luis Sandra Martinez starting.

05:23Papu Gomez drops out of the line-up with a sprained ankle.

05:26That's their only change.

05:27Crucially, Rodrigo de Paul has recovered from a muscle problem

05:30because no-one has recovered the ball quicker than him in that Argentina side.

05:34Di Maria is still not fit enough to start.

05:36Lionel Messi scored in the semi-final shootout against the Dutch in 2014.

05:41Dele Blimp, by the way, was on the beaten side.

05:44The Messi needs two goals to become the top Argentina scorer of all time

05:49at World Cup football.

05:51We're nearly ready to go, Martin.

05:53Key, key points for you in this.

05:55Well, the respect, first of all, that Argentina have shown

05:59by changing their shape.

06:01I'm really surprised by that.

06:02Of course, the team is geared to Messi.

06:04So this will be a real match-up here, very difficult to call.

06:08It will be a bit of a tactical chess match here, Jonathan, tonight.

06:12Hasn't started with a five all tournament.

06:15Scaloni, and they're not actually, as they line up, starting with a five.

06:19They've gone with a four, but we'll see how that materialises.

06:23Can't really ever tell from the exact kick-off,

06:26though Martinez can play in a central midfield position.

06:29He's starting at the back, though.

06:31Will it be a night for Depay?

06:33Will it be a night for Lionel Messi?

06:36The Netherlands, of course, all in vivid orange.

06:40Kickers off and under way, kicking from left to right in this first half.

06:47And immediately they look for the threat of Denzel Dumfries

06:51with his pace and strength on the right-hand side.

06:54He is absolutely key for the Netherlands,

06:57and it's going to be a hard night for Argentina's full-backs or wing-backs.

07:01Dumfries is a real talent who will raid down that right-hand side

07:06for the Netherlands.

07:08Scored a goal, of course, in the last game.

07:11Looked really strong, a couple of assists.

07:14He's indeed a back five for Argentina,

07:17with the three centre-backs Romero Otamendi,

07:19who's had a good World Cup, and Martinez.

07:22Talking of a good World Cup, Frankie de Jong has played so well

07:25for the Netherlands here.

07:29Virgil van Dijk, not missed a minute so far.

07:34Jürgen Timber, what do you make of Jürgen Timber, the Ajax 21-year-old?

07:39Interesting, he's in front of De Ligt.

07:41I was a bit surprised by that.

07:43He's not necessarily the biggest of players,

07:46not especially quick, but nonetheless he's been relied upon by the manager,

07:50and even the goalkeeper, by the way, made his debut

07:52at the start of this World Cup.

07:54So van Gaal is taking major risk, and they're paying off right now.

07:59Never underestimate Louis van Gaal's ability to surprise.

08:03Jürgen Timber was playing young football, under-21 football,

08:06in the Netherlands in January 2021.

08:08Here he is in a World Cup quarter-final, an astonishing rise.

08:14McAllister, another who's had a very fine World Cup.

08:17Didn't he look calm, the Brighton players,

08:19they were singing the anthem.

08:20Jonathan, what he does really well is when Messi drops deep,

08:22McAllister then goes and joins the front line.

08:25Interesting, if anyone's thinking about following Messi,

08:27he just occupies that player.

08:31His dad played with Maradona,

08:33and young Alex is playing with Messi.

08:36That's not a bad family double, is it?

08:39And here he is in his 12th international for Argentina,

08:43and he's got the full-back arriving here in Acuña.

08:47Mbesta crosses in,

08:49swept away by the watchful Martin Deroan,

08:53a Middlesbrough player.

08:55Who anchors that midfield with Frankie de Jong.

09:00Rodrigo de Paul, who had a bit of a muscle strain

09:04in the build-up to this.

09:09Out by Romero.

09:15Molina has interchanged his full-backs on a fair basis,

09:19although these are his preferred starting two, Molina and Acuña.

09:23Yeah, Molina is going to be playing on that right-hand side,

09:26so it definitely is a back five from Argentina.

09:31He's seen it all before, Van Gaal, Jonathan, hasn't he?

09:34Tremendous experience.

09:35He's lost two of 44 competitive victories under him in his spells.

09:40Unbeaten in the last 36 competitive games under him.

09:46Asked this week whether or not he'd have another job after the World Cup,

09:49he pointed to his age and said,

09:50but look at me, I still look like a god.

09:53And he said, now translate that for everyone.

09:55I thought you were talking about yourself there, Jonathan.

09:57No, there you are.

09:59Now here's Van Dijk.

10:03He's got a sense of humour, Van Gaal,

10:05and the players have appreciated that.

10:07There's a real bond in this Dutch scout.

10:09Ooh, now what's happened there?

10:10Well...

10:11Off the ball.

10:12Gagfoe on the floor.

10:15There's a collision with Romero, I think.

10:18Well, I think Romero, we know what a physical player he is,

10:20and I think he's just making himself known there.

10:22It was Molina, it was Molina, sorry.

10:24Molina, was it?

10:27Just look, just walk straight into him.

10:29Bang.

10:32He knows what he's doing there.

10:34Deliberate to me, Martin.

10:35Yes.

10:36The dark arts of defending.

10:40Not that you'd know anything about that.

10:42No, of course not.

10:43And I think Gagfoe there is a difficult man to pick up

10:45because he has lots of pace.

10:47We know he's come to the fore in this competition,

10:49he's been outstanding.

10:53Mane nearly joined Manchester United,

10:55Kirdi Gagfoe, only 23.

10:59Almost inevitable that he will go to the Premier League,

11:02probably next summer.

11:05He's defied, he's given away.

11:09Unless he picks it up, they've got an advantage here

11:12on the right-hand side.

11:13Cross cleared back to...

11:16Molina arriving.

11:18It was Rodrigo de Paul arriving, his shot was blocked.

11:26Time here for what's a man who's rolled back the years,

11:28the 34-year-old.

11:31You don't want to be giving the ball away cheaply,

11:33do you, to this team?

11:34Certainly with Messi out there on that pitch,

11:36a footballing god that he is.

11:38Argentina were asked yesterday about tactics and formations

11:42and their coach, N'El Scoloni, said,

11:46don't really talk to us about formations,

11:49it's not the way we play.

11:52And then he completely...

11:53Well, yes, but then he changes it completely,

11:55Jonathan, the very next day.

11:56So take that with a pinch of salt.

11:58And he's not played with a five from the start of a game

12:01in any of the World Cup games.

12:04Or a 4-3-3, 4-4-2 man.

12:19Argentina throw.

12:20Whistles of derision for the lack of quality

12:22about the Dutch play.

12:27And he's not played with a five from the start of a game

12:29in any of the World Cup games here or in qualifying.

12:33I've never been in a stadium outside of South America

12:36where I've seen here so many South American fans.

12:57Argentina calmly playing out.

12:59Gil Romero.

13:03This goes Nathan Ake to cover.

13:08Virgil van Dijk.

13:10Throughout this tournament went off for one minute

13:12against the USA.

13:27Those are the Argentina fans you can hear.

13:30Listen to them.

13:33Absolutely wonderful.

13:34Here's Ake.

13:35One of the players on a yellow card, by the way,

13:37Nathan Ake.

13:38Acuna is for Argentina.

13:40He's an amnesty.

13:41After this, you can't pick up a suspension

13:44through the semifinals unless you're sent off in the semi.

13:47Here's Timber once again.

13:48You're in Timber.

13:49You talk about the atmosphere, Jonathan,

13:51but nothing ruffles this Dutch team.

13:53You're in Timber.

13:54You're in Timber.

13:55You're in Timber.

13:56You're in Timber.

13:57You're in Timber.

13:58You're in Timber.

13:59You're in Timber.

14:00You're in Timber.

14:01You're in Timber.

14:02Nothing ruffles this Dutch team.

14:05They're just purring with the ball.

14:07Nice and calm.

14:09Of course, taking in the occasion.

14:12They look very classy here.

14:14They're not being pressured too much by Argentina.

14:18This is the way they've gone through this World Cup.

14:20Calm, unruffled.

14:22They haven't played expansive football.

14:24Ruud van Gaal has had criticism back at home for that,

14:27but he said this is the way he's coached teams

14:30for the last seven, eight years.

14:32Oh, goodness me.

14:33That's nearly a mistake by Knoppert.

14:37All the coaching manuals wouldn't have mattered

14:39if that mistake had cost him.

14:41Dear, oh, dear.

14:45That ball.

14:47Hans Densel done free swipe.

14:50Inter Milan player.

14:54Looks for it again.

14:55It's all powerful down there, right-hand side.

15:00A wonderful European Championship.

15:02She's had a good World Cup, Densel Dumfries.

15:06Hakune there.

15:07You can see they realise Dumfries is the danger man.

15:10They got to him really quickly there.

15:13In the change of passes to Pai,

15:15trying to find Cody Gutberg on the way and out of play.

15:19It goes for a goal kick.

15:22Nice little flick.

15:27Seven goals off Robin van Persie's national record.

15:30Depay.

15:32Dutch goal scorer.

15:34They had five players around him there, Messi.

15:36Wonderful.

15:37Could control it in a telephone box, couldn't he?

15:41A rare, rare talent.

15:44Enzo Fernandez.

15:46He's the coming talent in this Argentine side.

15:49They say scored a goal against Mexico,

15:51early on in the competition.

15:52Very impressive.

15:53Fernandez sits deep in that midfield.

15:55He can play as well.

15:58A role to play in their last seven games.

16:00The player is largely replaced.

16:02Lo Celso in the squad.

16:13They are the South American champions,

16:15but as Gary was saying in the build-up,

16:18the Dutch have beaten so many Confederation champions

16:21on the way to the last eight here.

16:24It would be a historic run for them

16:26if they could do this as well.

16:27Here's Rodrigo Dupont.

16:32Then they get width from the fullback.

16:34Headed away as far as Messi.

16:37To the touch.

16:38Lovely ball laid out wide.

16:39Acuna.

16:40Oh, fierce driven cross.

16:43That's both.

16:44Yeah, that's both fullbacks, Jonathan, we've seen now.

16:47Getting forward high.

16:49It was a bit of a wild cross.

16:59Important for Argentina that Acuna is fit.

17:01He came into this competition with a bit of a groin strain.

17:05And on the bench for the opening game.

17:07He started the last three.

17:11And he's looking for a fourth semi-final.

17:15Argentina under Lino Scaloni

17:17hoping to reach the semi-final for the fifth time.

17:20He's nearly away there.

17:21Gatto.

17:22Really quick.

17:25First touch let him down.

17:31It's Lee Van Haan apparently who told Cody Gatto

17:34it's not the right ball.

17:37It's Lee Van Haan apparently who told Cody Gatto

17:39it's not the right time to move to Manchester United.

17:43Close to a World Cup.

17:49And then towards the ends of Fernandez.

18:00Every player in the Argentina starting line-up based in Europe.

18:07It's De Jong actually.

18:09The one who's been given most of the work around Messi.

18:12And he's coming into his territory.

18:14He's a player, Jonathan, who's very quick actually.

18:17We look at what he can do with the ball.

18:19But I have to say he's a top defender as well.

18:27Here is Messi.

18:30Foul.

18:32Down by Timber.

18:33Takes a free kick very quickly.

18:34Off they go again, Argentina.

18:42Fernandez with a little bit of time on his hands.

18:49Made in by Molina.

18:53Feint of Gatto but let him down on that occasion.

18:56Here is Otamendi.

18:59His third World Cup final.

19:00Very poor he was in World Cup X.

19:03Wasn't involved in World Cup XIV.

19:11Canister.

19:13It's Acuna.

19:17Canister's continued his run.

19:19Kept it in.

19:20It's beyond blint.

19:21Rodrigo de Paul.

19:25Easy that for Andres Nopper.

19:27What a story this goalkeeper's story is.

19:29Incredible.

19:30I think 18 months ago, Jonathan,

19:32he wasn't even the number one goalkeeper at his club.

19:36No, he wasn't.

19:38His career has really blossomed late.

19:43He's got to get a grip here a little bit.

19:47Nopper Romero.

19:51Flying in but he'll say he won the ball, Martin.

19:53Well, I thought it was a good challenge actually.

19:56Referee just having a word there.

20:02Actually, first team to face four holders

20:04of a continental trophy in a single World Cup.

20:09At the moment,

20:10did a very decent job on Argentina

20:12who came into this as favourites to win.

20:16As did Brazil earlier.

20:20They're out.

20:22Messi will go back to PSG.

20:25He will hope to be crowing.

20:31Timba.

20:37Ake.

20:39Blint is Danny, of course.

20:41He's famous on the coaching staff.

20:44Martinez has had a good World Cup.

20:46Great scenes when he made that late save in the last round

20:49and players smothered him under bodies.

20:55Remarkable World Cup for so many reasons.

21:14Up towards the front-runner,

21:16Julian Alvarez of Manchester City.

21:20Once again to Arturo Martinez.

21:22He's had a poor World Cup, really.

21:24Arturo Alvarez with a little lay-off looking for Messi.

21:27Argentina should have had a free kick there, Martin.

21:30Possibly.

21:31Just interesting on the side.

21:33Argentina looking really strong and quick.

21:36They need to be, don't they?

21:38You know what Blint and De Vries did?

21:40They need to be, don't they?

21:41You know what Blint and De Vries did?

21:43It's the USA game recently.

22:06They are very calm here, the Dutch.

22:08They are.

22:09Just trying to turn the screw a little bit here on their opponent.

22:13De Jong.

22:17Of course, they play this way, Jonathan, all the time.

22:19In this manner.

22:20And, of course, Argentina are about to change it.

22:22Which is a great deal of respect they're showing their opponent.

22:25But there's teething problems for them, of course,

22:27in any time you change a system like that.

22:33Zaque.

22:35Argentina had to change things dramatically, didn't they?

22:38After that defeat by Saudi Arabia.

22:41If you actually go back to that game and analyse the goals they had disallowed,

22:44the chances they had, they should have won the game comfortably, really.

22:47Well, they had three of them disallowed.

22:53The free-throw waits that wide.

22:54Timber has it.

23:04Strong challenge in there by Martinez.

23:09Frankie De Jong was the meat in the sandwich.

23:11He's okay.

23:12He's a tenacious player and hugely important for his country, Frankie De Jong.

23:18He's brave as well.

23:19That's what I alluded to earlier.

23:21He's a fine player in there.

23:22He does everything.

23:24He's only missed five minutes of this World Cup.

23:26He's only missed one of their last 39 internationals.

23:30Probably more important for his country

23:33than he has been for his club in Spain, Barcelona.

23:37His club made the tie.

23:50Mike brings it away.

23:53Timber's allowed to run.

23:56The first piece of work we've seen from Emi Martinez.

23:59Emiliano Martinez, Sebastian Miller with the save.

24:01Just a little bit too much on that ball.

24:03The right idea, though.

24:04Not seeing too many balls into channel.

24:06Everything's to the feet right now.

24:08He does go to penalties.

24:10He was the shoot-out hero in the Copa XXI title winning side

24:15in the semi-final.

24:17Saved three spot kicks there.

24:30You can see here we haven't seen fans mixing together too much.

24:34There's the Souk area, the old market area

24:37where they seem to spend time together in a cafe.

24:40There are one or two pubs and hotels.

24:42I was out with some Argentine fans the other night

24:44in the Red Lion pub.

24:45You'll have heard more of that, of course, from other people.

24:48They're wonderful.

24:49Wonderful, great company.

24:51Belgians were in there.

24:52German fans were in there.

24:54English fans were in there.

24:56Like a World Cup, we travel around the country

24:59as opposed to just being in one city,

25:01which has made this unique.

25:09Argentina can't get near the ball right now.

25:11Really popping it around nicely, the Dutch.

25:26Emanuel Scaloni down there on the bench

25:28is going off alarming for Argentina.

25:30With his players.

25:31You can see him there in the trap zone.

25:34He was waving them, as if to say,

25:36get higher, get higher.

25:39Maria, unfit to start.

25:44He's felt he's been the glue that has stuck that

25:48PSG dressing room together over the years.

25:52No longer there, of course,

25:54Wonderful player.

25:55He's the man who said that

25:57Van Gaal's the worst coach he's ever taught.

25:59Wow.

26:02Van Gaal dealt with that actually very well,

26:04didn't he, yesterday at the press conference.

26:05Absolutely, with dignity and a little bit of heat humour as well.

26:09It's the sort of mood he's in right now.

26:18He's gone into a little bit of a lull.

26:21Very tense.

26:2320 minutes to go.

26:33Timber.

26:37He pledged to win this for Van Gaal

26:39when Van Gaal was sick, when it was announced

26:42he was fighting prostate cancer earlier in the year.

26:44It's a lovely ball up to Depay in the channel.

26:47That bow is in the middle.

26:48Just joined by Weiglein now.

26:51That's a corner kick.

26:54That's the first corner.

26:55Not to Mendy.

26:56It's a very good run though.

26:57Depay into the channel.

26:58Aki just clips a really nice ball in for him.

27:02He's the target.

27:03Van Dijk from these corners.

27:05Haven't been that successful so far

27:07with their corners and free kicks.

27:10Qualifying Van Dijk.

27:11Six for his country and 53 internationals.

27:16Should do better than that really.

27:17It's dangerous in the air.

27:18It's taken short.

27:20It's in dink towards the near post.

27:23Derone in there.

27:29Van Dijk.

27:30Depay.

27:34And one back by Argentina.

27:37Molina again.

27:38He's raiding down that right-hand side.

27:41He's really up for it.

27:42Look at him here, gets stuck in.

27:50Good race that, Jonathan, wasn't it?

27:52Van Dijk showing his class and his pace there.

28:02This is an opportunity for Messi.

28:04And it's in.

28:05It's in.

28:06It's in.

28:07It's in.

28:08It's in.

28:09It's in.

28:10It's in.

28:11It's in.

28:12It's in.

28:13It's in.

28:14It's in.

28:15It's in.

28:16It's in.

28:17It's in.

28:18It's in.

28:19Chief of Messi.

28:23Can he just skip past that midfield?

28:26And again...

28:27And Van Dijk's got to come out to him.

28:29He doesn't get the whiff on it that he wants, of course.

28:33You can't give him that kind of space though, too often.

28:40One thousandth game against Australia.

28:43Seven hundred and eighty-eighth golf.

28:48Don Fries has always been confident about the Netherlands opportunities he was saying

28:56months ago they're genuine contenders up there but it's cleared away now here's

29:02Frankie de Jong

29:05No movement up front at all for the Netherlands

29:25okay you say no movement Jonathan but what they're doing they're staying high up the

29:32pitch and they're occupying these Argentinian players it didn't come off there almost a

29:36great ball they can't then go and engage de Jong just keep coming to get it deep from

29:42the back three he's always on hand to help

29:51famous game in 1998 a wonderful hot summer's day in Marseille when the Dutch fans outnumbered

29:57Argentina that day the Dutch didn't keep the ball very well it's an astonishing game

30:03and Bortega getting sent off a headbutt on the goalkeeper as well as that Bergkamp goal

30:07I was commentating that day I just remember the Dutch in the early on in the game didn't

30:13keep the ball well today they're keeping the ball well that's how they've grown isn't that's

30:18how van Gaal sees international football now

30:20they could be in here the shot was dragged wide by Bergkamp chances like that come in

30:28quarterfinals of the World Cup you've got to take them

30:36flashed across the goal there I wonder if Gagpo could actually just put a foot out just

30:42stands and looks at it you don't see it from that angle

30:45see what Memphis Depay thought about it he sort of took it off Depay's toes

31:07ready for his fourth Jonathan I bet he's thinking he's got it wrong he should have stopped with

31:11his 4-3-3 system which is very much geared to Messi we're not seeing enough of Messi right now

31:20World Cup finals he was preferred to Zanetti in 2006 and he was under Sampaoli as a coach

31:27in the last World Cup finals so he knows a bit about World Cup final football Scaloni

31:33has he made a big mistake here

31:42I was here for Argentina against Mexico it's a wonderful atmosphere in a stadium that's

31:49built for acoustics and it's astonishing tonight again

31:57a little touch off there by McCaster

32:01they're on each other's way

32:05Alvarez crashed into Acuna

32:11he's coming back

32:25they decided not to push up that must have come from the manager

32:30neither side has had a shot on target yet

32:35Calister

32:36The referee might have pulled things back for the first foul, not the second.

32:43Yeah, for sure.

32:48Foot raised.

32:50The Dutch don't have many goal attempts normally.

33:07Argentina have conceded fewer goal attempts than any other nation here.

33:13So it was always going to be tight.

33:16Well, I make it 14 shots on target in this tournament so far from Holland. Is that correct, Jonathan?

33:22It is. Now, in comparison, Martin, Argentina about 26 on target, England about 21 on target, so...

33:33Well, there is no rush, are there? There's been no rush, that's for sure, and that's why I think the...

33:37The Dutch press have been into the manager saying it's boring football, but he said no, it's winning football.

33:44Up there then by Ake, a little push by Gakpo.

33:51A real physical presence, Gakpo, he's impressed me every time I've seen him.

33:55He's going to try and mix it with his Argentinian defenders.

34:00A wonderful season with PSV, scored 13, 18 assists.

34:06He can take a penalty if it came to it. It's a good goal for Argentina.

34:15Not a great clearance away at all by Martinez.

34:20A little bit flat here, Argentina.

34:23There he goes.

34:33Van Dijk.

34:36I just get the feeling Argentina are just trying to, I don't know, pounce if there's a mistake made,

34:40so just take care of the ball if you're a Dutch player.

34:43Don't make mistakes. Try and build through the compartments of your team.

34:53It's interesting how they are pushing back, the opposition's wing-backs.

34:57They're dictating. They're braver than the Argentinian wing-backs.

35:02Enforced all the way back here.

35:05De Jong to Virgil van Dijk.

35:12Very, very deep.

35:14Bote-Bergvijn. Van Vries is making the run off him.

35:18Lindt coming in from the far side.

35:21Gakko.

35:23To his shoulders. It's a lovely ball in towards that far post.

35:26De Puy had made the run in there from deep.

35:42Callister won it back.

35:46Messi, slipped there by Enzo Fernandez.

35:50De Paul.

35:59Slipped under the foot of Alex McCallister.

36:04Brothers, both players. Dad Carlos as I said was an international.

36:13The reverse has happened now.

36:15You see the Argentinian wing-backs all the way up the pitch.

36:18He's forced the Dutch back.

36:24De Paul.

36:25Opportunity for Romero to find space.

36:28They've got to get De Paul actually higher up the pitch.

36:31Fernandez sits, but they really want McCallister and him up the pitch.

36:34To give the numbers in the final third.

36:38Regular under Scaloni is De Paul.

36:42Good friend of Lionel Messi as well.

36:44They've got a good relationship on the pitch.

36:46High profile figure he is.

36:48This man on the ball back in Argentina.

36:51Sometimes doesn't like that.

36:53High profile status.

37:00To go to keep that in play. Couldn't get there.

37:02Zagora Martinez.

37:16Did he plan to shoot a yellow card there for Scaloni?

37:19No, I don't think it's for him. I think it's for one of his staff actually.

37:22Maybe I'm wrong.

37:23I think you're right.

37:30Scaloni's asking the question.

37:36His assistants are Pablo Aymar. You'll remember him from two Cups.

37:39Roberto Ayala.

37:41Cup 98, Walter Samuel.

37:44Twice a World Cup final player.

37:54Fernandez.

38:02Alvarez up front.

38:04Bounced kindly here now for Rodrigo De Paul.

38:06Alvarez.

38:08Trying to cut it around the corner to McCallister.

38:10Very unlucky.

38:11He makes a really good run first of all.

38:20McCallister.

38:30The winners of this will play Croatia.

38:34For the first time here.

38:37There.

38:40De Paul.

38:49Dutch hold deep.

38:53Really disciplined as well.

38:54But Messi finds a little bit of space.

38:56Almost inevitably.

38:59Alvarez.

39:01De Paul covers ground very well.

39:04Looks for Dumfries.

39:07Pass was sold.

39:08He's short.

39:09Martinez read that really well.

39:11I think that's why he's back in the team there.

39:13For his defensive instinct.

39:15De Paul.

39:16Pulled back here.

39:17McCallister.

39:18Sets it off for De Paul.

39:24Nice interplay.

39:26It's Messi who gets it and just rolls it.

39:28In the path of De Paul.

39:30He can't really get enough on it.

39:32They're closing him down quickly.

39:36That's the area though that he needs to get into.

39:46He was cautioned.

39:48He was a terrific player back in the day.

39:5356 caps for Argentina he won.

39:58De Paul.

40:05Nervy affair.

40:06Well stalemate.

40:23De Paul.

40:25He's possessed by Blint.

40:28Conformed by De Paul.

40:29He was looking at the run of Bergfein.

40:34Noel Molina.

40:38Messi.

40:40A lovely drop of the shoulders.

40:42More than half a yard of space.

40:43Back it goes into Molina.

40:45Argentina lead.

40:46He might not have scored it but I'll tell you what.

40:48Lionel Messi made it.

40:49And Noel Molina gets his first goal for his country.

40:58In the 35th minute.

41:01The deadlock is broken.

41:06A moment of Messi magic once more.

41:17Well another moment of brilliance.

41:20From Messi once more.

41:22Look at this change of pace when he gets the ball here.

41:25And how has he seen that pass?

41:28Molina.

41:29Great run that it is.

41:30Gets to it.

41:32Gets there before the keeper.

41:33Threads it.

41:35Through the eye of a needle.

41:36And look at this.

41:37Look at this for a pass.

41:38Look.

41:39He's not even looking.

41:40Drifts into that space.

41:41Return pass.

41:44And he takes it really well from his left foot.

41:46Puts it in the path of his right.

41:48And slots it home.

41:50Really good finish.

41:52But he's a good poker player.

41:54Lionel Messi because there was no tell whatsoever on the pass.

41:59Hahaha.

42:04Wonderful scenes again of celebration.

42:08Well you just had the feeling.

42:09Argentina were getting used to this system.

42:11Finding a way to probe.

42:13But that was Messi again.

42:15Fantastic assist.

42:17The Netherlands have looked composed.

42:19But what have they offered inside the Argentina penalty area?

42:23Nothing really.

42:27No.

42:28You have to hand it to Molina.

42:30He said right from the off he was really up for it.

42:32Charging down that right-hand side.

42:37He doesn't have the ball.

42:38He's got the ball.

42:39He's got the ball.

42:40He's got the ball.

42:41He's got the ball.

42:42He's got the ball.

42:43He's got the ball.

42:44He's got the ball.

42:45He doesn't look too perturbed.

42:47He'd be surprised.

42:50Iron tulip they call it.

42:55Iron resolve.

43:01This place is absolutely bouncing.

43:06Huge upper tiers here.

43:09Opposite our commentary position.

43:10The upper tier seems to go up to the skies.

43:13And it is all...

43:15Blue and white stripes everywhere you look.

43:26The men in orange have it all to do.

43:28Dumfries cut away by Timba.

43:33There's a head trouble here.

43:38Set down to talk.

43:45He's in the air with Martin Durong.

44:00They seem to get headed on the back rather than the head.

44:03Maybe it's one of those.

44:05Go down for a minute just to calm things down.

44:07Just gone in front.

44:09You're always vulnerable of course when you score.

44:12Seems all right now.

44:17There's a surprise.

44:26Is it just me or have we seen less simulation here of all sorts in this World Cup?

44:30Is it just me?

44:31I think you're right.

44:33With VAR now being involved.

44:36What we do need to see is reaction here from the Dutch.

44:39We know they don't have too many shots at goals.

44:41They don't panic.

44:43They don't create a lot either.

44:48Messi controlling things.

44:50Enzo Fernandez.

44:53Named after the great Enzo Franceschi.

44:57Here's Acuna.

45:02Dumfries gets back there.

45:04Acuna this side now.

45:05The other wing back.

45:06He's flying forward as well now whenever he can.

45:21Van Dijk, can you come out and play a little bit?

45:23Van Dijk, carry the ball higher.

45:25From a back three.

45:28No, he doesn't seem to do that.

45:29In fact, De Jong actually goes back into the three.

45:33Yeah, that really went wrong.

45:37At some stage, training 1-0 in a World Cup qualifier.

45:40They've got to come out though, Martin, haven't they?

45:43Well, for sure.

45:45Here's Alvarez.

45:48Messi back to goal.

45:49Wriggles and shoots.

45:52Had no right to control it from that position and get a shot away.

45:56No, he actually stands over the top of the ball.

45:58You can't really see it.

45:59Aki gets too close and he spins out onto his right foot.

46:03Gets the shot away.

46:07Goal.

46:13Universally acclaimed when he first came into the Argentina team.

46:16He made his debut against Hungary in 2005.

46:19Came on for a couple of minutes, got sent off.

46:22People back at home were saying, who is this whiz kid who

46:25never played football on his homeland but

46:28is a national icon now.

46:31He was a free-kick though for the Netherlands for the foul on Gupto.

46:35Yeah, Fernandes.

46:37Just got to be patient there.

46:38He sees the danger.

46:42There needs to be quality now on this ball.

46:45A bit of a naive challenge by a 21-year-old.

46:47That gives the Netherlands a chance to get back in the game.

46:53Just under five minutes left in the half, plus stoppage time.

47:05Gupto stands over it.

47:07Into the right-hand side.

47:18Gupto with the free-kick.

47:20That's a foul.

47:22There's a push in there.

47:30I think it was against Dumfries.

47:35Leaning in on Luciano Martinez.

47:38De Paul hits the deck there, doesn't he?

47:41Not sure how much content there was, but the referee's gone for it.

48:05It wasn't at World Cup 78, but I remember watching it on TV with the ticker tape

48:12raining down.

48:14Lionel Messi would have been brought up on stories of the great

48:18Kepes and Luque and

48:21Ardiles and Villa on that side.

48:23Passarella, the team that beat the Netherlands in the final.

48:27There's dreams of emulating those heroes all these years on.

48:30And they were a team of chokers, weren't they, Argentina?

48:33That's what people said about them, Martin.

48:35But they eventually won the Copa America, and I think it's changed

48:38the whole mental state of play for the team.

48:41Well, very much so.

48:43And as we say, everything now geared to Messi.

48:47And boy, does he pay that back in dividends.

48:55Timbuk.

48:57Timbuk.

48:59Around the corner to Dumfries.

49:01Acuna is there, he's had a good first...

49:03Oh, he says it's a foul.

49:06I think someone's going to get booked here, Jonathan, because of an overreaction.

49:10Yeah, it's Timbuk who pushed Acuna to the ground and gets the yellow card.

49:16Well, he's almost saying, I'm refereeing this, not you, young man.

49:22Acuna went over like Timbuk, didn't he?

49:25Certainly did.

49:30Oh, dear, oh, dear.

49:36Dumfries is in a lot of pain here.

49:45Acuna cautioned for the incident as well.

49:48So that's him suspended for the semi if they get there.

49:52Look at that, Jonathan, all the way down the back of his Achilles.

49:56That's really painful.

49:59He's gone across there, he's angry with it.

50:06It was a bad challenge in his behaviour afterwards with Timbuk.

50:09It was a bit foolish.

50:11It was crass, to say the least.

50:15Netherlands beginning to warm up for substitute.

50:21It's Jeremy Frimpton.

50:25It hasn't featured in the World Cup so far, there's a bit of an injury doubt.

50:33Just a minute to go.

50:35It's a really high line here.

50:37Right out on there, 10 yards outside the box.

50:42Back up from the back.

50:46Good toe with it.

50:47Goldkeeper thought about coming, didn't.

50:49Taught the header up.

50:51But not quite away far enough.

51:02Not good, stayed up there momentarily.

51:04It's Romero underneath that.

51:09Romero.

51:12Misjudged it.

51:14Indeed, it was going in behind him as well.

51:18Got it wrong.

51:20Handle, it's a yellow card.

51:25Punched it.

51:27Revival there.

51:30Three.

51:32Might attack yellow cards in two minutes.

51:36That toe stands over it.

51:39Young face.

51:41Very mature attitude.

51:43Oh, Martínez scored inside.

51:45No great pressure on him.

51:48No, but he kept his eye on that ball.

51:50He had to, didn't he?

51:52Right until it arrived with him.

51:54Could easily have been a touch on it.

51:56Another incident in here.

51:58The Netherlands are saying,

52:00Ake was pushed by Acuña.

52:13Five minutes of stoppage time.

52:22We assume VAR looked at that.

52:24And were happy.

52:25We assume VAR looked at that.

52:27And were happy.

52:42Going through to Andres Nopat.

52:47A controversial choice it was

52:49when he was picked ahead of Vasilis.

52:53It's the sort of thing Van Gaal does

52:56Van Dijk.

52:58Deep.

53:00Plays out.

53:02Doesn't move up after he played that ball either.

53:04Dumfries.

53:09Van Dijk has actually stayed there all game long.

53:13Free kick given.

53:15You have to say Acuña is really, isn't he?

53:17He's really stopping that threat of Dumfries.

53:20It's getting a bit tetchy here, Jonathan.

53:22Referee's going to have to

53:23sort this out.

53:25It's another bench player that's getting booked here.

53:27Another player on the bench getting booked.

53:30It was a

53:32nasty challenge by Alvarez.

53:34A Dutch player getting booked, I think,

53:36was Albenekhorst.

53:37It was.

53:42I think the referee needs to concentrate

53:44on what's happening on the pitch.

53:46Not what's happening around it.

53:49A great World Cup, has he?

53:51Albenekhorst.

53:52Albenekhorst's appearances

53:57redeem his career at Besiktas

53:59after the

54:00relegation with Burnley.

54:01Here's Ake.

54:03Depay.

54:06De Jong.

54:08A header on by Dakpert.

54:10Easily dealt with

54:11by Martins.

54:12If the game breaks up, I don't know

54:14if Argentina

54:15are leading the match

54:16at this moment in time,

54:17but if the game does break up

54:18and get all niggly-niggly,

54:20will that suit Argentina

54:21or...

54:22Oh, without doubt.

54:23100%.

54:24I fully expect that to happen.

54:28The Dutch have just got to keep

54:29playing their football,

54:30but they're not really,

54:31there's no real end product here

54:32tonight.

54:35Controlled by McAllister.

54:36Just too often, a little bit

54:37too long.

54:39I think De Jong,

54:40as well as he's playing in the game,

54:41he needs to go much higher

54:42on the pitch.

54:43And I think Van Dijk

54:44can deal with those things

54:45at the back.

54:46He can help to build

54:47the passage of play

54:48from the beginning.

54:52Argentina came into the tournament

54:54ranked third in the world.

54:57England's eighth.

55:08Alvarez, McAllister challenges,

55:09Deport.

55:12Now Acuna.

55:15I'd be surprised if they switch

55:16Acuna out,

55:17bringing Taliafico.

55:22Maybe half-time,

55:23maybe a little bit...

55:24Well, they've done that

55:25a few times already.

55:36Taliafico, who started

55:37the World Cup,

55:38came on for him in their

55:40third group game.

55:48He's cleared away by

55:49Otamendi.

55:52Half-time.

55:54Again, Otamendi.

55:58The referee says

55:59go on with it.

56:00The Argentine fans

56:02in their tens of thousands

56:03howl.

56:04I think it was a free-kick

56:05for the challenge on Messi.

56:08How dare you tackle

56:09the messiah Messi.

56:10The great one.

56:14Depay.

56:16He's blinked.

56:17The referee again says

56:18no foul there.

56:19So he's

56:20relatively consistent

56:21with his

56:23allowing a degree

56:24of physicality.

56:29He blinked.

56:31In the World Cup,

56:32three years after he had

56:33a heart defibrillator fitted.

56:44He's got a

56:46He wasn't great

56:47at Manchester United.

56:48He wasn't the greatest

56:49spell in his career.

56:50But

56:51as an Ajax player,

56:52he's won so much.

56:54Eleven trophies.

56:55That man's won everything,

56:56of course.

56:57Apart from this.

57:04Adorama watching on there.

57:09Not the

57:11not that one.

57:16What a chance.

57:22Slow to be taken

57:23by Dumfries.

57:27Interesting if Van Gaal

57:28has any ideas

57:29obviously for any changes

57:30he wants to make

57:31for this second half.

57:34Interesting team talk,

57:35I'm sure.

57:39Needs a slender one.

57:40One goal up, Molina up from right back, set up by the great Lionel Messi and Argentina

57:53have a slender lead, Martin, at the break.

57:55They do, and in the end it was Holland who had all the football, didn't really create

58:00anything and then this man Messi gets on the ball, a little bit of magic, and Molina goes

58:05charging down the right hand side and pokes it home.

58:081-0 at half-time, just about deserved, the Argentine fans loving every minute of it,

58:14are they heading through to the semi-finals here against Croatia, they lead it at the

58:17break 1-0.
